Hi All
I have the van pictured. I think the wheels are 5 * 114 PCD??
Does anyone know where to get aftermarket or even 2nd hand 17" or 18" rims? My stock alloys (14") are just leting the look of the van down.

Also I'd love to lower her...Any HELP PLEASE !!

its the most common stud pattern avail . ford falcon , toyota camry , mits magna nissan skyline and silvia s14 and s15 are alll the same stud pattern

should be lots to choose from with wheels

I guess you are in Aus?
I'm in the UK. I don't think it's so common here.

Yes we have no problem in Australia with the choice of wheel. the other vehicles to consider are some earlier american Fords, I believe they are 5 x 114.3

Hi Guys

Just aqcuired a set of 18" rims for my hiace
18"
8J
35 offset
5 stud

..can anyone tell me what tyre size I should opt for. Im worried that I wont get body clearance if the tyre wall is too high with the rims being so large.

secondly..there is lots of talk on here about lowering the hiace sc..but nobody says what's involved..how do you go about lowering the front and the rear suspension set ups?

finally any good web shops for custom parts that you know of?

cheers
Mark

to lower the front is easy just ajust the torsion bars to the hieght required the rear you need to get lowered coil springs fitted.
If you look in the links part of the forum you will find a few links to shops in japan and hong kong.

I've done a bit more research and it looks like 235 40 18 are the kiddies for anyone that's interested..

iv got 18x8's that currently have 235/40/18 tyres, once they wear out ill be chucking 234/45/18 just for abit more ride comfort, check out my thread http://hiace-super-custom.free-boards.net/show-us-yours-f6/newbie-mnc-updated-t988.htm the current wheels are 17x9 on rear and fronts are 17x8, wheel sizes on the thread.

Ive also seen Toyota Altezza 17" wheels on a super custom which look pretty cool.

If you are wanting to fit Altezza wheels you may have to get the centres drilled to clear the hub.
